Foley Equipment of Wichita, Kansas, recently moved into a new $19 million, 146,000-square-foot headquarters. The family-owned company celebrated with a grand opening on November 17.
The Caterpillar construction equipment dealer has grown from a single store in 1940 to operations spanning 144 counties throughout Kansas and western Missouri.
Foley broke ground on the facility’s construction in May 2016, a company spokeswoman says.
The new facility focuses on environmental sustainability with a self-adjusting climate for energy efficiency, positive ventilation to maintain a clean environment, LED lighting throughout and waste oil collection systems, the company says.
“The investment in our Wichita headquarters is a testament to the decades of support from our Wichita customers and employees,” says Shane Ham, chief operating officer. “The expanded space enables us to be more flexible and cost-effective while better serving our customer needs.”
Ann Konecny became CEO and dealer principal in 1997, following the footsteps of her father, Paul “Skip” Foley, Jr.
